Let's do this.

we know that 1 Gallon = 3785 ml

we know that 1 ml of water = 1g (metric system is awesome)

so 1 gallon of water = 3785 grams

1 lb = 453 grams

1 gallon of water = ( 3785 / 453 ) lbs

about 8.35 lbs / gallon

* 55

459.25

It would be about 440 pounds. Pounds is a unit of mass/weight. Gallons is a liquid measure. They do not convert cleanly. The density of the liquid being measured can make a big difference. If the liquid is water, there is 8 pounds to a gallon.

Since a gallon of water weighs approximately 8.34 pounds, 55 gallons weigh 55 x 8.34 = 458.7 pounds.

If a 55 gal drum weighs approx. 458. Lbs and a 55 gal drum of ice weighs 400 lbs , when the ice melts back to water does the weight increase back to 458? And if it weighs 458 as a liquid where does the 58 lbs go when it freezes?
